Indeed, the crank units cracked the problem some while ago, I've even ridden a Panasonic one submerged in water with no ill effects then or later. Some handlebar control units can still suffer on occasions though, but thankfully that is quite rare. .

Waterproofing has never been a strong point of e-bikes. The second one I bought had a specific instruction in the opening pages of it's manual: "Do not ride in the rain". .

I don't know the Impulse 2 unit well enough to say if anything can be easily made, but some of the parts that have caused problems can't be. For example the toothed nylon gear wheel and the pawl assembly. The quality of the bearings is unlikely to be a problem. There are four photos of the...

They will welcome it. There are those in both Russia and the EU who want more co-operation between them, Germany in particular. The UK as an EU member was always a stumbling block due to our staunch alliance with the USA, but with us out of the way the prospects are much better. .

Around half of us would be pleased, way better than the proportion usually pleased by political or court decisions. .

The problem with mechanical repairs is lack of any spares when the units have to sent back to get a new one. When the Panasonic mid drive units were popular a few years ago that didn't have to happen, so parts from the odd failed units could be used to restore others and many were put back on...

I'm another who doesn't drink alcohol, and we are both Remainers. Perhaps we could start another row in this thread, accusing Brexiters of being befuddled with drink when they make voting decisions. :D .

For all we know OG might be the life and soul of the party, though maybe not the Conservative party. :rolleyes: . .

Given how keen the EU would be to retain us and our money as a member, any such awkward members would soon discover what being leant on heavily means. None are likely to object to an article 50 rescindment though, simply because the likely candidates are mostly EU cash recipients, UK money. .

Technically it looks as though he is wrong. But practically he is absolutely right as I posted on this link. .

Indeed. Lord Kerr is undoubtedly right, the EU and all its member countries would be very happy for us to abandon our Article 50 intentions and stay a member. No matter what the rules say, they'd metaphorically screw up our A.50 notice and throw it in the bin. I'm betting that also includes...

=1.445 cubic feet. Says to barman, 34.68 cubic inches of bitter please. o_O .

If you're referring to the Kalkhoff units, probably not, that seems to be failings in the design of the unit. Not relevant in respect of this thread though, these crank units from various makers don't have spares available, so a mechanic cannot repair them. .

The controller, head unit and software, all due to using brushless motors. Those areas are way beyond the knowledge of an average bicycle mechanic. .

Both gallons had their origin in the Winchester bushel centuries ago, but that was refined independently by both lands. The end result is that the US gallon is some 20% smaller than ours and they have different numbers of fluid ounces. Both have 32 gills per gallon, but the US gallon has 4...

Agreed, I've made exactly this point, but it didn't stop me knowing that what I voted for was for increasing union. As much as the politicians, the public were the problem through not taking any interest beyond their own little sphere. Surely even back then we knew that politicians routinely...

Now then Zlatan, all's fair in love and war, and this thread sure is all out warfare! :eek: .

But it took Network Rail to find yet another type. .

But where does this stop and it is even realistic to remove all such risks? Children who have avoided such mishaps have been killed later by collapsing walls and falling signs where no apparent risk even existed. Some later manage to achieve final oblivion with drink, drugs or dangerous...

Once again illustrating how much more lenient the EU is with regulation, just as with e-bikes. It's the UK which is intolerant. .
